Abstract

The present invention relates to a multi-plate centrifugal clutch, comprising: a driving rotating body (46) having a plurality of driving plates (64); a driven rotating body (48) having a plurality of driven plates (65), the driving plates and the driven plates being alternately arranged in a predetermined direction; a centrifugal weight (41) configured to bring the driving plates and the driven plates into contact with each other when the centrifugal weight receives a centrifugal force during rotation of the clutch; a plate-side oil supply passage (59) configured to supply oil toward the driving plates (64) and the driven plates (65); and a weight-side oil supply passage (111) configured to supply oil toward the centrifugal weight (41).
